Year in Review: Artist Interviews 2014 -- January thru June

Inside the studio of Eric Dubnicka

Another year is coming to a close. Everywhere you look there are magazines touting the top news stories of 2014, top people, most important events and all the rest. In keeping with previous years I like to summarize the artist interviews I've had the privilege of sharing. Bring your laptop to the fireside and curl up with your favorite libation. Here are some of the interesting people I've enjoyed getting to know a little better in 2014.
